12 gauge to the upper thigh? Ouch!
I hope it was peasant load. Either way, I wouldnt want any parts of that.Yeah- 12 gauge. That will leave a heck of a mark. Yikes.

But, who in the heck gets ready to disembark from a tree stand.... without UNLOADING the gun, completely??? Even if you are just heading down to walk 20 yards 'down wind' to relieve yourself.... don't leave your gun loaded, even if leaving it in the stand till you get back. I mean, that's just common sense, to me.

An investigation found that Stratton's 12-gauge shotgun discharged as he was grabbing a soft case that was hanging on a branch next to his tree stand ladder. The safety of the gun was off and the gun was pointed towards him when the gun discharged.

I got a fair amount of ribbing for not having a round chambered all the way up until the time I got picked up.
Indeed.And there are safe ways to accomplish this also: unload, check chamber, check it again, dismount, reload.
I feel your pain, but you can always remind your buddies that you didn't shoot your dick off while waiting to get picked up either...

You can buy loads to kill poor people?
...This is "The Guy" that accidentally shoots someone else.
The 4 rules are unforgiving.
